Q:

A man went downstream for 28 km in a motor boat and immediately returned. It took the man twice as long to make the return trip. If the speed of the river flow were twice as high, the trip downstream and back would take 672 minutes. Find the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the river flow.

A) 12 km/hr, 3 km/hr B) 9 km/hr, 3 km/hr
C) 8 km/hr, 2 km/hr D) 9 km/hr, 6 km/hr
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 9 km/hr, 3 km/hr

Explanation:

Let the speed of the boat = p kmph

Let the speed of the river flow = q kmph

From the given data,

2 x 28p + q = 28p - q

 

=> 56p - 56q -28p - 28q = 0

=> 28p = 84q

=> p = 3q.

Now, given that if

283q + 2q + 283q - 2q = 67260=> 285q + 28q = 67260=> q = 3 kmph=> x  =3q = 9 kmph

 

Hence, the speed of the boat = p kmph = 9 kmph and the speed of the river flow = q kmph = 3 kmph.

Q:

A speaks truth in 75% of cases and B in 80% of cases. In what percentage of cases are they likely to contradict each other, narrating the same incident

A) 30/100 B) 35/100
C) 45/100 D) 50/100
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 35/100

Explanation:

Let   A = Event that A speaks the truth

B = Event that B speaks the truth 


Then P(A) = 75/100 = 3/4

P(B) = 80/100 = 4/5

P(A-lie) = 1-34= 1/4 

P(B-lie) = 1-45= 1/5

 

Now, A and B contradict each other =[A lies and B true] or [B true and B lies]

 = P(A).P(B-lie) + P(A-lie).P(B) 

 = 35*15+14*45=720  

 = 720*100= 35%
